The content focuses on the question of WHY we collect and how our collections reflect our individual and community identities. This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process. We're involving visitor services and volunteers more intentionally in facilitation.

One thing you''ll notice when you walk in is a ton of user-generated content.

This creates a dependency where visitors only experience the communal relationship if it is facilitated by staff. This is most extreme in institutions that have a delightful, idiosyncratic style to their content communication and a more formal approach to development communication.

That is, you should be able to watch the strangers talk to each other about the designed social object you have created without being directly involved in the action. The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers.

But all of us have experienced more informal, less well-facilitated forms of discourse. Yes, there may be sites for discourse in our lives, but they are not well-facilitated and are more often seen as undesirable disturbances--the kinds of incidences to lead us to look away from strangers on the street.
